I know my mum brought us up to be confident in ourselves, not to care what others think, and we had other interests that we were good at like dance, music, sport and school work, so we had confidence that we could do great things. But for children who don&#39;t have those, and are more sensitive to what others think, it&#39;s hard to know how to prepare them. I&#39;m pleased I have a boy, but even they are becoming more aware about their appearance. #thelistlinkyEmma Thttp://bubbablueandme.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349668044326313600.post-29863199682506208182017-02-20T05:29:22.714-08:002017-02-20T05:29:22.714-08:00This is a really interesting post.Thank you for sh...This is a really interesting post.Thank you for sharing The Children&#39;s Society Report, I&#39;m looking forward to having a proper read of it.

Boys have an argument and then mostly move on, girls dwell, hold grudges and take life on the whole more seriously. With my teacher head on, I would always prefer to teach in an all boys&#39; school. Not because I don&#39;t enjoy teaching girls, but because their emotions make the world more complex.

I guess we all want our kids to have it better than we did - and that&#39;s just the same for their mental health too. Thanks for commenting.

I&#39;m sorry that the other children made your daughter feel that way, I can remember similar things happening to me as a child, and it knocks you for six. I also feel that as a sex, girls are still fighting to be treated with the same respect as boys. The images in the media, the pressure to wear the right thing and look a certain way-it&#39;s so much less aimed at boys. I really hope that something can be put in place in order for girls mental health to be made a priority.<br />#bigpinklinkAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17914547316532539487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349668044326313600.post-73001791406729950052017-02-15T15:44:14.045-08:002017-02-15T15:44:14.045-08:00It&#39;s so sad that these things start at such a ...It&#39;s so sad that these things start at such a young age.

My daughter i...Hi, a really thought-provoking post.<br />My daughter is 10, and I am seeing first hand how much peer pressure and society in general affects our girls thought processes and self-esteem. Then I think back to being that age and especially starting secondary school - how you would be mocked if you didn&#39;t have the right trainers and your PE kit had to be in some trendy carrier bag �� that rule didn&#39;t seem to apply to the boys somehow.<br />I think what the Children&#39;s Society are campaigning for is brilliant, but I think we also need to do more work with our girls to be more supportive of each other, and to be more of a team. #PostsFromTheHeart ❤Em Linthorpehttp://emlinthorpe.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349668044326313600.post-47277854923768300502017-02-13T12:55:35.468-08:002017-02-13T12:55:35.468-08:00Thank you for sharing this.

I&#39;m not sure I know many emotionally healthy adults (myself included) and I&#39;d love my kid to learn how to care for his mental health whilst he&#39;s still young rather than when he becomes an adult. It&#39;s so important to be thinking about whilst they&#39;re still little. <br />#PostsFromTheHeartAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
